Hiya, (I think all these points were raised on the iasa2 list fwiw.)

More, but not quite, the former. My main reasons are that I at least perceive employers to generally have more sway over employees than contractors (YMMV, but nonetheless), and secondly an RSE-employee on a fixed term contract, based where I live, whose employment contract was renewed twice, regardless of being part-time or not, could then legally claim to be the permanent RSE until their retirement date, thanks to (what I consider good) employment law. I don't think Ireland is alone in having such laws and would prefer that the RSE selection process not have to omit such countries from a hiring process. That latter reason may or may not apply depending on the person, but is another reason why a more independent RSE is better IMO. RSOC are the ones who need to figure the details of the latter, so I'll leave those details to them, but I really hope they factor in the need to re-gain community confidence in the process and outcome. Cheers, S. PS: Some IAB members are on vacation this week so some specific responses may take a while longer than usual.
